Charlotte Flair and Asuka locked horns on WWE RAW for an opportunity to challenge Rhea Ripley for her title. Asuka went on the attack early but was taken down by The Queen with a chop block.

Flair went on the attack and targetted Asuka’s knee to slow her down. She started building towards the Figure Eight for an easy victory on RAW.

The Empress of Tomorrow fought back and hit a German Suplex to make a comeback into the match. She tried to lock in a submission but Flair managed to break the hold.

The Queen hit a backbreaker and set up a moonsault. Asuka caught her with the Asuka Lock and made her pay, but Flair reversed it to pin her opponent and win the match.

Asuka had already defeated Flair last week, and WWE could have given her a shot at the RAW Women’s Championship based on that result. Instead, the RAW creative decided to put her down and give Flair another opportunity.

The good thing is that Ripley and Flair will get a one-on-one contest on a major pay-per-view. This will likely lead to a great match between the two women.
